Text
Enterprise NI is a vital part of our entrepreneurial ecosystem. We are primarily a small business economy, and the work that Enterprise NI does to support small and microbusinesses, including by delivering Go Succeed, is hugely important. Early in my tenure as Economy Minister, I met the chief executive of Enterprise NI, Michael McQuillan, and the chief executive of Mallusk Enterprise Park, Emma Garrett. I have also appointed Conor Patterson, chief executive of Newry and Mourne Co-operative and Enterprise Agency, as one of my expert advisers. My officials and I continue to engage with Enterprise NI and the local enterprise agency network about opportunities for entrepreneurs and small businesses across the North.
